All you need to know about data sharing
There is an expected advantage sharing imaging data, allowing studies based on larger multicentric samples. There are technical solutions to that, and this will probably become a standard for research. Radiologists should be organized in order to increase...
Whole body CT with only 1.5 mSv detects osteolytic lesions
Whole body CT with only 1.5 mSv detects osteolytic lesions Very low-dose CT examinations can be achieved with low kV and tin filtering, reaching a total dose of 1.5 mSv for this whole-body examination. CT can now become a routine tool to detect and follow-up...
What is the lowest reasonable dose for CT of the appendix? Can we really go lower than 1 mSv?
In general, a lower dose means a lower image quality. The authors have studied the lowest acceptable dose for a reliable analysis of the appendix, for general radiologists and for dedicated specialists. Is it possible to go under 1 mSv? Read this article to...
Should we perform susceptibility weighted MRI (sMRI) for vertebral fractures?
This study shows that sMRI is a valuable addition to conventional MRI for patients with vertebral fractures. Key points: • sMRI allows a reliable evaluation of vertebral body fractures. • sMRI has higher accuracy than standard-MRI for evaluation of...
